FW: Naked City: So it's true......

> >Don't know what "vocal" means, don't know what four days Elegy means, >don't >know what five days film means (Zorndocumentary,? Filmworeks live? films >with Zornmusic?) A fewe years ago de Balie in Amsterdam had organized a Filmworks special: They shoed all the films that had Zorn's music and played them. I would suspect it to be something of that sort again. Do the posted dates imply that Electric Masada will not be part of the event? Shit if they play in July, when will we take our vacations? For the rest, lets wait until the 1st of April to buy the tickets! manolis

> > >Naked City - yes, at the Holland Festival, Amsterdam and in Warsaw, > > >in June. Maybe more.... You just made my day!!!! As I have posted earlier, Holland Festival is planning a Zorn portrait. So far I had not managed to get any information on that, but speculations were that it would be a comission of a classical piece. Or maybe Electric Masada. But who would expect NC??? I will post all relative information as it becomes available, but this will probably be in May. I am also planning a visit to NY in September, so NYers please inform us of information concerning the Zornfeast there! manolis

I > am dying to see this... It's only played a handful of film festivals so far, but the director is getting ready to make it available on VHS, in both NTSC and PAL format. I think we can be reasonably certain that when this happens, Downtown Music Gallery will be the first to have them available.

Hi Artur and everyone, I understand that the other NC date is June 17, in Amsterdam I think. I seem to remember that it was a festival date in Amsterdam too. Maybe one of you Euro-Zornlisters can tell us the truth? I know it was hard to find dates when everyone was available - that's probably why WSJD had to take the Wednesday date.

Great info on Zorn in Warsaw. I understand, Naked City will play the Holland Festival on June 16 in Amsterdam. Does anyone have any other details for the Amsterdam show, or at least the Holland Festival... c'mon, Naked City in Amsterdam, how rockin' is that?!?!

I ordered mine around 1999 or 2000, I think; I got actual CDs, not CDRs, though they were in a plain, completely unadorned blue cardboard double-CD gatefold sleeve (my collection is distant at the moment), with photocopied inserts bearing the credits. Veeeery promo-only. Strictly hardcore! I get sleepy even looking at it. I haven't listened to it in a couple years, but I remember enjoying it, particularly Taku Sugimoto's "loud" piece. -----s np: Phil Spector, BACK TO MONO, disc 1
